Uumama 11
1 Bara sana addunyaan guutuun afaan tokkoo fi haasaa tokko qaba ture.
And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
2 Namoonni akkuma gara baʼa biiftuutti godaananiin, Shineʼaar keessatti lafa diriiraa argatanii achi qubatan.
And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they lived there.
3 Isaanis, “Kottaa mee xuubii hojjennee ibiddaan gubnaa” waliin jedhan. Isaanis qooda dhagaa, xuubiitti fayyadaman; hapheedhaaf immoo leeleetti fayyadaman.
And a man said to his neighbor, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
4 Ergasii, “Kottaa mee akka ofii keenyaa maqaa argannuu fi akka addunyaa guutuu irra hin bibittinnoofneef magaalaa gamoon isaa samii qaqqabu tokko ijaarrannaa” jedhan.
And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth.
5 Waaqayyo garuu magaalaa fi gamoo isaan ijaaraa turan sana ilaaluuf gad buʼe.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
6 Waaqayyos akkana jedhe; “Erga isaan akka saba tokko kan afaanuma tokko dubbatuutti waan kana hojjechuu jalqabanii, yoos amma wanni isaan hojjechuuf karoorfatan kan isaaniif hin dandaʼamne tokko iyyuu hin jiraatu.
And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.
7 Kottaa mee gad buunee, akka isaan wal hin hubanneef afaan isaanii waliin dhoofnaa!”
Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbor.
8 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo achii isaan baasee lafa hunda irra isaan bittinneesse; isaanis magaalaa ijaaruu dhiisan.
And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
9 Waan Waaqayyo achitti afaan addunyaa hunda waliin makeef iddoon sun Baabilon jedhame; Waaqayyo iddoo sanaa isaan baasee lafa hunda irra isaan bittinneesse.
On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.
